This car crash happened at a Caffeine and Octane car show in Georgia last weeked, where the owner of this insane Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo convertible spun out and then blamed it on his shoe. We have a hard time believing the shoe caused this crash because this car has some good brakes, and a shoe coming apart wouldn’t have enough pressure to push the accelerator to the floor. However, the tuning company Underground Racing are known for their high horsepower Lamborghini creations, so this is expected every now and then. Luckily the damage isn’t too bad, and should be easily repairable. Several of the tuners projects have outputs of over 1,000 horspower, including this beast seen in the video. We’re just glad no one was injured, and that the car has a quick recovery. Hit the jump to see the video and more pictures.

Edo Competition always brings their best work to the table, this time with a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, tuned to produce 750 horsepower and called the LP750. The most notable mention is the fact it can reach a top speed of 365 km/h or 227 mph. At the track, it was able to reach 100 km/h or 62 mph in just 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h in 9.7 seconds, and 300 km/h in 24.5 seconds. Customizations include modified cylinders, new intake system, hand-made manifold, revised air ducts, new free flow air filters, a high performance exhaust system, and a re-calibrated ECU to handle all these aftermarket parts. The exhaust system also features plasma coated stainless steel, and an optional remote controlled butterfly valve system.

The company Amari Supercars is a well known car dealer in the UK, but they have now combined fine cars and tuning within Amari Design to create this Lamborghini Gallardo Invidia Edition. In-house tuning was performed by master technician John Greatorex, to increase the output of the 5.0-liter V10 from 513 bhp to 740 bhp. For styling improvements, the Lambo received a new front bumper fascia, carbon fiber front lip, new front fenders, quarter panels, side skirts, rear bumper, carbon fiber diffuser and rear spoiler. Enhancing the sound and performance of the Gallardo is a custom stainless steel exhaust system to go along with the dyno tuning. Inside the sports car you will find a nice carbon fiber trim throughout the cabin, available in a range of different colors, as well as the carbon fiber racing seats trimmed in Alcantara.

The tuners from Reiter Engineering have put together a new track star based on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, and called it the LP600 because of the new performance figures. For the track, the modified Lambo received a new carbon fiber aero kit consisting of a front splitter, bumpers, new bonnet design, racing front fends, air exit ducts, underbody diffuser, and a huge rear spoiler. Reiter installed a new AP brake system with ventilated brake discs, their own double wishbone front and rear suspension, anti-roll bar, anti-drive and anti-squat, racing shocks, springs, and a new set of 18-inch racing wheels with slick tires. Tuning heads must give credit to the new lightweight aluminum frame, which received some new body parts and joint elements to make it work. In the end, this Lamborghini Gallardo only weighs in around 1190 kg, and the price for all this is pretty reasonable at 288,500 EUR.

The latest tuning program for the Lamborghini Gallardo is called the White Edition from the guys at Anderson Germany. Included in the kit is an aerodynamic package consisting of a new front apron, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a fixed rear wing. The exterior of the Gallardo Lambo was painted in a matte white to contrast the new set of black and white rims. Dropping the car closer to the ground is a new sport suspension, while the 20-inch wheels give it an aggressive and stunning look. Performance upgrades to the 5.2-liter V10 come next.
